Tatras
7 Days
Jun - Sep
Description
Why don’t you join me in this 7-day trekking adventure through the High Tatras? It is an amazing mountain range lying just on the border between Slovakia and Poland.
During this week I will guide you among the most outstanding spots of The Tatra National Park. This national park protects the areas of the Western and Eastern High Tatras. In addition to that, it has 600 km of hiking trails, of which 16 are perfectly marked. The highest peak in Slovakia is the Gerlachovský štít (2,655 m) and it is right inside this park.
In our way through the High Tatras, you will be able to know the interesting flora and fauna of the region, including many endemic species. During the night, we will have dinner and sleep in comfortable mountain lodges. That way we can rest, recover energies and get ready for each new day.
I can take with me a minimum of 4 people and a maximum of 10. Thus I can guarantee a enjoyable trip for all of us. You should know that we’ll walk around 5-8 hours per day. Therefore, I recommend this trip to those with a good fitness level.
At the bottom of this description you can find a sample itinerary of my program. If you have questions we can discuss it. Feel free to contact me now if you are planning to come to Poland this year!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
